This review examines the concept of the preferred retinal locus (PRL) in patients with
macular diseases. Considering monocular and binocular viewing, we (a) explain how to …

Background: Eccentric viewing in macular disease has been described for half a century.
However, a clear definition of eccentric viewing and preferred retinal locus (PRL) does not …

Patients with a central scotoma usually use a preferred retinal locus (PRL) consistently in
daily activities. The selection process and time course of the PRL development are not well …

Gaze-contingent display paradigms play an important role in vision research. The time delay
due to data transmission from eye tracker to monitor may lead to a misalignment between …

Background/aims The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has
recommended the use of ranibizumab for neovascular age-related macular degeneration …

Purpose.: Reading speed of patients with central field loss (CFL) correlates with the size of
saccades (measured in letters per forward saccade [L/FS]). We assessed whether this effect …

AMD patients often have particular difficulty reading, even when the text is magnified to
compensate for reduced visual acuity. This study explores whether reading performance can …

Reading speed is dramatically reduced when readers cannot use their central vision. This is
because low visual acuity and crowding negatively impact letter recognition in the periphery …

Many important results in visual neuroscience rely on the use of gaze-contingent retinal
stabilization techniques. Our work focuses on the important fraction of these studies that is …

Purpose.: It has been suggested that crowding, the adverse low-level effect due to the
proximity of adjacent stimuli, explains slow reading in low-vision patients with absolute …
